Description of the goal(s) of the presentation:
It is relatively easy to identify the root cause of an inpatient denial due to a procedural matter like failure to obtain an authorization.
But what is the root cause of an inpatient denial when the hospital does everything ‘right’? They notify the correct insurance company on time. They obtain the authorization and provide clinical details to support the inpatient admission. And still, the payer denies the inpatient admission at the time of request opining the inpatient level of care is not medically necessary – that the patient can be treated at a lesser level of care.
This webinar explores why uncovering subjective decision-making, on both the provider and payer side, is the biggest challenge hospitals face in preventing clinical denials. In detail, we review the importance of analyzing and trending seven key data points that are generally unreportable within the hospital’s EMR.
Learning objectives:
• To obtain a better understanding of effective and consistent documentation to prevent and overturn clinical denials.
• To identify strategies to utilize within the Revenue Cycle/UM processes to prevent denials.
• To identify areas of opportunity and process improvement for providers to address and prevent clinical denials.
• To obtain pointers and suggestions for drafting persuasive appeals on the provider’s behalf to overturn the denials and hold payers accountable.

Description
Brief outline of the presentation
In this presentation, Nick McLaughlin explores the revenue opportunities that exist in patient balances that hospitals spend a lot of money to collect, but rarely do. By reducing the financial burden of care on a hospital's Financial Assistance-eligible population, they can enjoy many benefits besides alleviating that burden on their low-income patients. These benefits include: better health outcomes for their patients, higher patient volumes and insurance reimbursement, a more loyal patient-base, higher Medicaid and DSH reimbursement, and more accurate patient liability estimates.
Description of the goal(s) of the presentation:
To discuss the opportunity to leverage a hospital's Financial Assistance/Charity Care program to help patients and drive positive financial outcomes for the hospital.
Learning objectives:
1. Learn how to reduce the financial burden of care on indigent patients to improve health outcomes and increase reimbursement.
2. Learn how leveraging your Financial Assistance Program to engage indigent patients can improve Medicaid and DSH reimbursement.
3. Learn how Financial Assistance plays into consumerism and price transparency, can improve the accuracy of patient liability estimates, and how to use it to increase market share.
Target Audience
